NEW YORK, March 3.—Active liquidation et In on the stock market today, resulting in price losses at one time of from 1 to points for the principal active stocks. There were one or two abortive rallles on occa- slonal profit-taking by bears, but they were not well held and the lowest prices of the day were touched during the final hour. There was a very substantial rally then, peaching from 1o 2 points for many mar: ket leaders, due to the general covering of shorts to take profits on the day's decline, but the market became unsettled again and closed easy. The practical abandonment of the Aldrich financial bill affected sentiment even at the opening, but vigorous support- ing orders were distributed In the market and the decline was effectually checked The vigorous upward movement in Manhat- tan helped to this end. At this point the effect of the money situation became con- crete by the calling of loans to a large ex- tent by the banks. This forced considerable liquidation and the bears made successive drives againat the market.The buying de- mand was so insignificant that the bear tactics were very effective and uncovered large stop orders. e day's subtreasury statement showed withdrawals from the market by that in- stitution yesterday of $181.00, bringing its absorption since Friday up to. . §,900,00 There seems to have been an awakening to the fact that last Bllul‘dlr'l bank state- ment understated the decline in .cash by about half, so that the effect of last week's decrease on this week’s bank statement will be correspondingly aggravated. The new increase In the loans shown by the bank statement is also doubted, as the showing of the week's operations and yesterday's sale of $10,000,000 St. Louls Mountain bonds announced, with another $10,000,000 sup- osedly taken by other interests, is an in- Gication of the continued heavy demand for credits. It was belleved that strong inter- ests were liquidating in the stock market today and presumably taking losses, owi to the hopelessness of advancing prices t and the immediate requirement for to_protect more important interests elsewhers. The report of a stock brokerage fatlure iy Boston was given a somewhat cxaggerated | significance by the con. nivance of the bears and was a material factor for a time in the weakness. The showing by the railroads in the Janu. uary reports of net earnings s proving heavy disappointment, as confident hopes have been indulged that the increase in frelght rates in January would result in largely oftsetting the growth in operatin expenses. Manhattan was well supporte throughout and the declaration of the usual dividends caused a show of strength in Bugar. Teports of a strike on its lines east of St. Louis made the Wabash stocks consplcu- ously weak, but the news of the fnjunction against the labor men caused a partial rally in these stocks. There were wide declines in & number of high grade seldom active stocks and the closing bid prices showed Some still more notable recessions in stocks Which were not dealt in. Bonds were weak in sympathy with the stock market. Total sales, par value, §2.70,- 000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

The market opened early and buying was brisk from start to finish. The market could safely be quoted strong to a dime higher. The handy weight cattle continu to be in the greatest demand, but still the heavy weights sold to better advantage than they have for the lost veral days. Everything in the yards was disposed of in good season, although several trains were late In arriving, which delayed the market to some extent. The cow market was also active and stronger.

Sellers thought they ought to get more money and as a result the market was slow from start to finish. As compared with vesterday the prices paid were generally a shade stronger, sales going all the way from steady 6c higher. The quality of the hogs "here today was considerably better than yesterday, which helps out the ap- pearance of the market on paper to quite an_extent. Prime heavy hogs sold from §7.05 to $7.0, good welght hogs sold from $6.97% to 3$7.06 and the lighter loads sold from 3695 down. The close of the market was, if anything, a little weaker, so that the late sales were little, if any, better than yesterday.
